Предисловие
Предлагаемое учебное пособие - The Heinemann ELT English Grammar - предназначено для лиц, изу-
чающих английский язык. Цель пособия состоит в том, чтобы помочь изучающим овладеть грамматикой
и использовать ее на практике. Главным образом, пособие рассчитано на тех, кто работает самостоятель-
но. Однако его материалы могут использоваться и для работы под руководством преподавателя. Пособие
рассчитано для лиц, имеющих средний уровень подготовки по английскому языку. Вместе с тем его
можно с успехом использовать и на продвинутом этапе обучения для повторения и закрепления изучен-
ного материала.
ОБЪЯСНЕНИЕ
Грамматические пояснения изложены в простой и доступной форме. В общем используется английский
язык повседневного обихода. Хотя, где это необходимо, используются отдельные грамматические тер-
мины (например, adjective - имя прилагательное, noun - имя существительное, subject - подлежащее).
Эти термины объясняются в Глоссарии (Glossary) на страницах 324 - 327.
СТРУКТУРА ПОСОБИЯ
Пособие состоит из 190 разделов. Как правило, каждый раздел посвящен одной из грамматических тем
(например, the present continuous - настоящее длительное время, will или артикли a, an и the). Раздел
начинается с объяснений и примеров, после чего следует одно или несколько упражнений.
Кроме того, в некоторых разделах делается сравнение грамматического материала с материалом,
изложенным в предыдущих разделах (например, в разделе 2 сравнивается the present continuous (настоя-
щее длительное время) и present simple (настоящее простое время).
В обзорных разделах объединяются и отрабатываются на практике некоторые материалы предыдущих
разделов (например, в разделе 28 оттренировываются the present - настоящие и past tenses - прошедшие
времена). В этих разделах содержатся лишь упражнения и отсутствуют объяснения.
Некоторые разделы (например, 35 и 67) носят лишь справочный характер и не содержат упражнений. На
страницах 294 - 322 помещены 88 учебно-контрольных тестов. Они предназначены для проверки степе-
ни овладения грамматическим материалом пособия. Тесты можно использовать для выявления отдель-
ных проблем, поскольку каждый из них ориентирован на определенную область грамматики.
На страницах III - V содержится Оглавление (Contents).
На страницах 328-335 помещен Алфавитный указатель (Index), который приводит подробный перечень
грамматических структур (например, articles - артикли, present continuous - настоящее длительное время)
и ключевых слов (например, a/an, enough). Здесь также помещены рубрики, касающиеся того, как ис-
пользуется язык для выражения, например, возможности, долженствования.
В квадратных скобках [ ] иногда приводятся переводы некоторых примеров, используемых как иллюст-
ративный материал.
Ответы к упражнениям размещены на страницах 336 - 348, а ответы к тестам - на страницах 348 - 353.
В Приложении на странице 323 приведены некоторые сведения об американском варианте английского
языка.
ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ПОСОБИЯ В КАЧЕСТВЕ САМОУЧИТЕЛЯ
Найдите желаемую тему по Оглавлению (Contents) - страницы iii - v или по Алфавитному указателю
(Index) - страницы 328 - 335. Прочитайте объяснения и ознакомьтесь с примерами. Затем выполните
предлагаемые упражнения. Сверьте ваши ответы с Ключами к упражнениям (Key to exercises) - страни-
цы 336 - 348*. Если у вас возникают какие-либо затруднения, снова обратитесь к объяснениям и приме-
рам. Затем найдите тест по изучаемой теме в Оглавлении учебно-контрольных тестов (Progress Tests) -
страницы 294 - 296. Выполните тест. Затем сверьте ваши ответы с Ответами к учебно-контрольным
тестам (Answers to Progress Tests) - страницы 348 - 353*.

and was worth about £1000, although the garage was asking £1400 for it. When
the salesman came out, I arranged 2 the car straight away. The salesman
and I got in and we drove off. I liked the car immediately and I decided that
I wanted 3 it, but, of course, I didn't say this to the salesman. Instead, I pre-
tended 4 the car very much.'
'When we had finished the test-drive and had pulled up outside the garage, I told the salesman
that I couldn't afford 5 more than £750. The salesman, of course, refused 6
such a miserable little offer. He told me that he expected 7 at least £1200 for the car.
I tried offering £800, £850, £875, but he wouldn't change his mind. Then I decided 8
something different.'
'I thanked the salesman politely, said goodbye, got out of the car and started to walk away. It
worked! The salesman got out of the car too and hurried after me. He told me that he wanted
9 fair and was prepared 10 a reasonable offer for the car. In the end, he
agreed 11 it to me for £1000. He even agreed 12 me £200 for my old car!'

I Рассмотрите примеры:
/ spoke to the woman who owns the hotel.
Did you see the letter that came this morning?
Who owns the hotel и that came this morning являются 'defining relative clauses'. В этих
предложениях речь идет о том, какого человека или какой предмет имел в виду
говорящий (например, who owns the hotel определяет, какая женщина; a that came this
morning определяет, какое письмо).
237
154 Leaving out who, that and which in defining relative clauses
Which может употребляться вместо that (говоря о предметах) в defining relative clause.
Did you see the letter which came this morning?
The keys which were on this table have disappeared.
В неофициальном стиле возможно употребление that вместо who (говоря о людях).
/ spoke to the woman that owns the hotel.
Обратите внимание, что можно опустить who, that и which, когда они являются
дополнениями в defining relative clauses, например: He's the man (who) we met last night.
CM. 154.

придаточных предложениях)
Who, that и which может быть подлежащим (subject) или дополнением (object) в defining
relative clause. Compare:
Who, that или which часто опускаются, когда они являются дополнениями в defining
relative clauses.
Marianne is the girl we met last night. (Мы встретили ее вчера вечером.)
Have you seen the book I put on this table? (Я положил ее на этот стол.)
238
155 Defining relative clauses with whose, where, when and why/that
Но нельзя опускать who, that или which, когда они являются подлежащими в этих
предложениях.
Marianne is the girl who invited us to the party. (Not: Marianne is the girl invited us ...)
Have you seen the book that was on this table. (Not: Have you seen the book was on this

Вместо who можно употреблять whom (по отношению к людям), когда это слово является
дополнением глагола в relative clause.
/ met a woman whom I know. (I know her)
Но слово whom - достаточно формальное и не очень распространенное в повседневной
речи. Вместо него можно употреблять who или that (или их опустить).

156 Defining and non-defining relative clauses
240
156 Defining and non-defining relative clauses
В 'ndn-defming' relative clauses не говорится, какое лицо, предмет и т.д. имеет в виду
говорящий; эти предложения дают больше информации о лице или предмете уже
известных.
Ken's mother, who is 69, has just passed her driving test, (who is 69 does not tell us which
woman; we already know that it is Ken's mother)
Sue's house, which is in the centre of town, is over 100 years old. (which is in the centre of
town does not tell us which house; we already know that it is Sue 's house)
Non-defining clauses более распространены в официальном стиле, особенно в
письменном. Когда эти предложения записываются, ставится запятая (,) в начале
предложения (и часто в конце).
Last weekend I met Sue, who told me she was going on holiday soon.
Frank Morris, who is one of my best friends, has decided to go and live in France.
В non-defining clauses всегда употребляется who по отношению к людям и which no
отношению к предметам; в этих предложениях нельзя употреблять that.
She gave me the key, which I put in my pocket. (Not: She gave me the key, that I put in my

и don't (= do not).
К стяжению очень часто прибегают в разговорном и неофициальном письменном
английском языке, например, в письмах к друзьям.
При стяжении на письме ставится апостроф (') там, где буква или буквы опускаются.
Гт (= I am; ' = a) you 've (= you have; ' = ha)
isn't (= is not; ' = o) don't (= do not; ' = o)
Ниже приведены наиболее употребительные стяжения:

I've /aiv/ (= I have) they've /9eiv/ (= they have)
I'll /ail/ (=/ will) they'll /Sell/ (= they will)
I'd /aid/ (= / had or / would) they'd /deid/ (= they had or they would)

189 Contractions
Обратите внимание, что иногда возможны два отрицательных стяжения. Нельзя, напри-
мер, сказать she isn't или she's not, you aren't или you're not, he won't или he'll not.
Очень часто краткие формы употребляются после личного местоимения, например, Гт,
you 've или в отрицаниях, например, isn 't, don't. Но иногда краткую форму (особенно 's)
можно употреблять после существительного.
Maria's a student. (= Maria is a student.)

Краткая форма также может употребляться после вопросительного слова, например,

What's the time? (= What is the time?) There'll be trouble. (= There will be trouble.)
Where's Peter gone? (= Where has Peter gone?) That's right. (= That is right.)
Нельзя употреблять утвердительные краткие формы 's, 've и т.д. в конце предложения
(потому что глагол в конце предложения ударный).
Do you know who she is ? (Not: Do you know who she's?)
'Have you finished?' 'Yes. I have.' (Not: 'Yes, I've.')
Но отрицания isn't, haven't и т.д. могут употребляться в конце предложения.
'Is she English ?' 'No, she isn't.'
You 've finished, but I haven't.
Note

not, has not, например, I ain't hungry. (= / am not hungry.)
-He смешивайте it's (= it is или it has) и its (притяжательная форма от it), например: The cat
ate its food.

Appendix: American English
[Приложение: Американский вариант английского языка]
Грамматические различия между British и American English невелики. Основные различия состоят
в следующем:
а Американцы очень часто употребляют past simple для сообщения 'новостей' в тех случаях, когда
британцы употребляют present perfect (см. 6с).
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
АМЕРИКАНСКИЙ ВАРИАНТ АНГЛИЙСКОГО БРИТАНСКИЙ ВАРИАНТ АНГЛИЙСКОГО
ЯЗЫКА ЯЗЫКА
Did you hear the news ? Have you heard the news ?
My sister had a baby! My sister has had a baby!
Американцы часто употребляют past simple с just, already и yet в тех случаях, когда британцы
употребляют present perfect (см. 8).
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
He just went out. He's just gone out.
I already had breakfast. I've already had breakfast.
Did you write the letter yet? Have you written the letter yet?
Американцы часто употребляют have, с do и does в отрицательных формах и вопросах в тех
случаях, когда британцы употребляют have got (см. 33).
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
/ have a brother. I've got a brother.
He doesn 't have a job. He hasn 't got a job.
Do you have a pen ? Have you got a pen ?
Американский вариант английского языка имеет две формы past participle глагола get: gotten и got;
Британский вариант английского языка имеет только одну: got (см. 190.2).
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
I've gotten/got a ticket. I've got a ticket.
Американцы часто употребляют infinitive без to после глаголов suggest, insist, recommend и т.д.
(см. 55.1).
I suggested (that) he see the doctor.
They insisted (that) she take the money.
Эта конструкция также употребляется в британском варианте английского языка, особенно, в бо-
лее официальном стиле.
Существуют различия в употреблении некоторых предлогов. Например:
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
on the weekend at the weekend (CM. 169.1)
Monday throughAo Friday Monday to Friday (CM. 173.2)
differentfrom/than different from/to (CM. 178)
stay home/stay at home stay at home (CM. 168.10)
write somebody/write to somebody write to somebody (CM. 181)
В американском варианте английского языка, если слог не ударный -/ на конце слова обычно не
удваивается-(см. 188.6с).
AMERICAN ENGLISH BRITISH ENGLISH
'traveled 'travelled
g Глаголы burn, dream, lean, leap, learn, smell, spell, spill и spoil обычно правильные в американском
варианте английского языка, например, burned, dreamed, leaned, leaped, learned и т.д. (см. 190.2b).
